FORECAST DETAILS:
Happy weekend, y’all! Saturday will be our 7th day in a row of 100-degree weather. While this is quite a stretch, it’s nothing compared to the longest stretch of consecutive triple-digit days on record, which occurred last year from July 30 to August 21. That’s when we had 23 days of back-to-back 100-degree days.
Still, take care of yourselves this weekend if you plan to be outside. The heat index could reach as high as 106° during the afternoon, but humidity will be noticeably lower by the evening hours.
Only difference in the forecast from Saturday to Sunday is that it’ll be a little breezier Sunday with winds from the south at 10-15 mph with a few gusts up to 20 mph.
Looking ahead to the week, the heat high settles right over us, so temps will rise even more by a couple of degrees. The good news? There’s still hope for a low-pressure system to move through deep south Texas Friday through next weekend, bringing extra cloud cover and a small chance for rain. This could end our triple-digit streak. We’ll keep you posted!
